Did the 'gay lobbyists' hijack Pro Bodybuilding in the early 80's?

[nzmusclemonster]

ok.  give examples of how it has been gayed up in the last 20 years.   smaller posing suits? 

no, they just feel you're full of crap.

Most gays have never attended a bodybuilding contest.  Most couldn't name a single pro or top amateur.  Most, as in 99.999%.    And of the gays who are into bodybuilding, very few are also gay activists.   The first rule of being a gay activist is being out to everyone.  Most of the gays in bodybuilding (especially those in power or those who compete) are not out.

When bodybuilders have names like Tim Faggety it make's you wonder 

[TrueGrit]

It has always had a large gay following. It's hardly surprising as it is little more than a male beauty pageant.

Serious question:


How in the fuck do you agree (if you're Cutler) with a shot like the one below? Was it taken for a bbing mag? If so, most of the readers are men, so I fail to see the appeal in taking such a shot for a man's muscle mag (unless of course the readers are gay).

Was it taken for a "playgirl" like mag, that supposedly appeals to women? That I could understand......



I guess it's just me, but I wonder how something like that goes down, and someone like Jay agrees to it.


Schmoe Photographer: Okay Jay, for our next shoot, we'll need you to slip into these tiny daisy dukes. Our readers really seem to enjoy that look....

Jay: Okay....as long as our "readers" like it....

Schmoe Photographer: Also, I need you lo leave them unbuttoned, so as to making it look like your removing them......

Right.


The thing is.....it's a male beauty pageant aimed towards gay men. It's not even done for women to enjoy....

[nzmusclemonster]

Although... do you recall a cover of flex or ironman magazine where Jay Cutler was just wearing a towel and it was half falling off... extremely gay.... well it was the worst selling issue by a mile that magazine ever had... the reason given was because the readers were too homophobic...

[GoneAway]

One only has to look at the introduction of the thong, posing styles, music and magazine-layouts to realise that Pro Bodybuilding is filling the very lucrative 'gay niche'.

thong... to show more development
posing styles... yes, theyve differentiated from the early days, but not that much. still the same basic shit.
music... theres rock, to soul, to rap, to techno. i dont see how its 'geared towards the gay community.'
magazine-layouts... somewhat agree, depends which layouts.

no question that alot of gay men enjoy bbing. y wouldnt they? its like a hetero man watching a swimsuit competition. but i dont think its SPEFICIALLY geared to attract gay men.

[TrueGrit]

Right.

Did the 'gay lobbyists' hijack Pro Bodybuilding in the early 80's? 

I am not sure.  However, the 'gay pride movement' is a very wealthy and powerful lobby group.

It is easy to understand that the 'gay collective' would have a vested interest in a sport such as Pro Bodybuilding.

Anecdotally, it is easy is to draw a connection between Pro Bodybuilding and the Gay-pride-lobbyists.

Is 'gay money' really controlling Pro Bodybuilding  in this modern era?

God knows, but i wouldn't be surprised!

Ask yourself why bodybuilders are hiking their trunks.

Why, all of a sudden, "glutes" became an ever important part bodybuilding.

Why trunks were exchanged for thongs.

Why gay escorts aren't penalized for violating IFBB rule of conduct, but those who calls officials cheaters are (Milos Sarcev).

Double post meltdown.

fuck fellas! the godfather of bobybuilding mr. joe what's his name is a fuckkin homo are you fellas really that naive

[bigdumbbell]

The sickening and evil disease known as 'aids' claimed many a good man.  The homosexual community was in disarray.  The image of a 'wasting away, scab ridden fag' was damaging the image of the gay-pride-movement.

The gay lobbyists needed to resurrect their image.  So they turned to Pro Bodybuilding. It provided a vision of health and strength; something the aids epidemic was threatening to destroy.

To this day, the gay lobbyists are still active in the Pro Bodybuilding scene.  No longer do the public think of a homosexual as an emaciated aids patient but rather a strong-robust- thong-wearing-oiled-up-prancer.

haha oh brother

Why do people become so anti-bodybuilding when they realise they dont look like one after all the years of training and dieting?

-This is the arsenal of today's Pro Bodybuilder: 

 Striated glutes, cut off jeans, braces, spandex, string singlets, fluro, orange tans, oil and of  course the   thong. 

Yes, it is frightening how the sport is pandering to the gay-collective. 

The gay lobby is a very influential minority.  It has its tentacles in many organisations.  I just wish it would remove itself from Pro Bodybuilding!

[columbusdude82]

hank wood, do you have any specific evidence to substantiate your allegations?

MR WANK WOOD.....

how come every post of yours contains the word gay ..... ur a fukn tit

[New Hank Wood]

Whoa, easy on. Let me be very clear;

Gays have a right to exist. 

Gays should be afforded the same rights as heterosexuals.

My argument is not whether the gay collective is good or evil.

I am more interested in seeing that Bodybuilding's integrity and wholesomeness is protected and preserved for future generations. 

It is clearly obvious that this is not happening. 

The gay faction has it's dirty little paws all over this sport. I am sickened by this. 

The gay power base is singlehandedly destroying what was once a noble pursuit of men!

You agree because 'everybody's doing it'

[tom joad]

who brings the daisy dukes to the shoot? the bodybuilder or the photographer?

[BayGBM]

That’s a great question.  Do you own a pair of daisy dukes?  I don’t; when my jeans get old I throw them away.  I would never make a pair of daisy dukes out of them no matter how good my legs looked.  Given what we know about FLEX magazine, I’m willing to bet they have a stash of supplies for bodybuilders when it’s time for photo shoots: posing oil, sunglasses, hair moose, water in an atomizer (to simulate sweat) and a stash of daisy dukes in various sizes.

Nothing says “I’m a fvck hole for your pleasure” like daisy dukes.
